disorder
The spectrum of Mental Health disorders is incredibly vast; we showcase the multitude of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behavior.
The Meat, the Bones, the Skin. Honorable Mention in The Metamorphosis of the Mind Challenge.
Red—marbled, seared steaks raised me. Desire served in thick cuts. Blood still warm in the center, something primal not meant to be named but always devoured. No questions, just plates. Heavy—thick porcelain, rimmed in gold like something sacred. They arrived steaming, polished to a shine, mirroring a face back at you, distorted by the steam. Each one carried its own silence. A glistening steak cut too large for the appetite, flanked by obedient sides. Mashed potato afterthoughts. The meat bleeding in. No one said a word. The knives were sharp, the rules were sharper. Finish your plate. Even the parts that made you sick. Especially those.

Unconditional Commitement
The Power of Unconditional Commitment: Choosing to Stay the Course In today’s fast-paced, convenience-driven world, commitment can feel like an outdated virtue. People are often encouraged to “follow their feelings,” “move on if it doesn’t serve you,” or “leave if it’s not easy.” And while there is truth in setting boundaries and prioritizing mental health, there is also something deeply transformative—and increasingly rare—about *unconditional commitment*.

Similar Symptoms, Different Context: Adult ADHD in a Nutshell
In contrast to childhood ADHD, adult ADHD has different components to it, and largely depends on how the individual with childhood ADHD has grown and developed over the course of their adolescent years to adulthood. Children that are diagnosed with ADHD early on, for instance, are much more likely to be able to recognize and better understand their symptoms and patterns in their symptoms than those who are newly diagnosed as adults.

What's the Difference Between Anxiety and an Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety is a common human reaction and emotion that everyone experiences at some point in time. Stress and environmental factors often play a critical role in anxiety and how we deal with it. However, when anxiety is persistent and not necessarily specific to a few situations, it can become a disorder. While a lot of people throw around the term anxiety loosely, it is often misunderstood as to how it relates to our mental health.

The Day Freedom Died. Content Warning.
America, land of the free, has fallen... it is no more. I never thought I would see the day this truly happened in the country I've proudly called my home since birth. The country my ancestors, elders, grandfathers, father, and uncles fought for. The country my partner fought for. The country I always praised and cherished... the country that taught me what freedom looked like. Now... I watch it perish under a regime of tyranny and evil that masquerades under the guise of religion and doing "God's" work. These are the moments that continue to reshape me... that redefine me just when I thought that I had reached my final state of definition. But the transformations are not always for the better... this particular time of change has me conflicted and tormented with guilt and disgust.

The Numb Age
Introduction: The Hidden Epidemic In today’s hyper-connected world, most of us are drowning—not in water, but in noise.
